Even telling positive stories about the future in itself is ... complicated! On the one hand, they can inspire, nourish, comfort, stimulate, educate, normalise things that need to be normalised; they can be havens where we can prefigure the society we're building, and take a break so we don't burn out; they can challenge the old stories that are holding back progress and reinforcing old hierarchies; they can be spaces for critical thinking and stimulating dialogue; they can be spaces where different strategies can be played out in the abstract and refined ... there are LOTS of ways that new stories can help to build new worlds! On the other hand, there is always the risk that we imagine things INSTEAD of investing energy in actually making them happen.
